Three years ago, my husband's teenage "niece" came to stay with us during the school holidays. I welcomed her like my own child, and never suspected she was anything other than his niece. Last week, I overheard her crying on the phone, saying, "Daddy does not want me to tell Auntie anything." When I confronted my husband, he finally admitted that she is his daughter from a previous relationship, but he hid the truth because he I would leave him. I feel betrayed because he lied to me for years while allowing me to become deeply attached to her. I now sleep in the guest room and barely speak to him. Sadly, I have also become distant towards the girl, and she keeps asking why I no longer treat her the way I used to. I love this girl, but whenever I see her, I am reminded of my husband's lie. Was I wrong to distance myself from her while I process the betrayal? Can our marriage survive such a huge secret?
